Saw Mill Burned.

At $3.50 O'Clock yesterday morning the
saw mill of Messrs. G. A. & G.. X.
Squier was burned down. The mill was
located at Crystal Lake. about one and .
half mile from Pomona, and WAS one Of
the most complete and best equipped
mills in this section of the State. The
fire originated in the northeast corner,
where no fire was ever kept. and where
there was no com bustible material, show
ing that the fire must be of incendiary
origin. The mill was valued at s, 600
and was total loss. "a everything was
destroyed by the fire and there was no
insurance on the property. A small pile
of lumber was also burned, but this loss
was very light.
The mill has proven a great conve-
nience to the people of that section, and
an immense quantity of lumber was
sawed there. 1t is not known for certain
yet whether the mill will be rebuilt or
not, as the owners are as yet undecided.

Oliver Doud By ron is one of the best
known actors in this country, and will
present himself and the charming Kate
Byron in the famous play, The Inside
Trock." in our city tonight. The Byrons
have always been favorites in the South,
Atlanta, etc, but as yet have never Wis
tied the smaller towns, and have always
considered the towns in Florida out If
the question. Mr.. byron, Who owns one
of the handsomest private residences at
Long Branch, the fayorite resort for the
summer at the North, while entertaining
a gentleman who has large interests in
this part of the country, promised that
he would play a week in the Florida
towns, so his agent was instructed to ar
range for this tour. Our reporter had
the pleasure of meeting Mr.. j. Fl. ALI
ger, the press representative of the CON-
pany, who stopped over a train in our
city last night. Mr.. A. said Mr.. By ron
had nothing to regret in his visit to Flor
ida. His performances had been received
w tbC DdiiS DOio, oho uoo
large offers for return dates, the better
class of people approaching the good it
does the country to encourage such at
fractions to come to Florida. They not
only call on him, but overwhelm him
with letters asking him So to come again. y
The play is a pretty love romance, in
terwoven with sensational scenes. Mr..
Byron plays the part of Harry Denbigh,
the ne'er-do-well nephew of an English
clergy man, and he has chance to show
in this the versatile actor that he is ac~
knowledged to be. Kate Byron, as Jerry
Twaddle, the lame boy, has made the hit
Of her life, everywhere the press being
unanimous in her praise.
The company is a strong one, and
while enjoying their excursion in Flor
ida, do not forget their duty to the pub
lie, and give as strong performance as
they would in the large cities OF the
North or West.
